Michael Laudrup in the frame as ‘QPR consider sacking Harry Redknapp’

Michael Laudrup is being linked with a swift return to management at Queens Park Rangers.

The Times reports the Championship club are losing patience with current boss Harry Redknapp, with the Rs’ hopes of automatic promotion fading following a meagre one-point haul from their last four games.

And former Swansea boss Laudrup, the newspaper claims, is being considered as a possible replacement for Redknapp at Loftus Road.

Laudrup was axed by Swansea earlier this month after a poor run of results in the Premier League. However, the dismissal was widely considered harsh and the Dane’s stock is still high after leading the Welsh club to Capital One Cup glory last term.

Rangers are currently fourth in the Championship, seven points adrift of second-placed Burnley, with Saturday’s visit of Leeds to Loftus Road possibly key to deciding Redknapp’s fate.
